Tucked behind Edinburgh’s famous castle and with a postcard view of George Street down below, this classy studio offers a perfect city escape. Designed by New York architects, Grywinski + Pons, everything is down to the detail. From blackout blinds and underfloor heating, to mirrors that reflect the space and windows that flood the room with natural light – this is stylishly uncompromising practicality. After all, when the cultural call of outside is too hard to resist, a dining table, cushy sofa, bed, bathroom and kitchenette is all you could possibly need. With everything at your fingertips, living couldn’t be easier. Whether you are here on business or just for pleasure, beyond your front door, the building offers a variety of tables to be used as workspace and offer a change of scene. The Eden Locke café by day, bar by night is the perfect spot to relax in after a long day walking those cobbled streets and when the city centre is just a few steps away, you know that there is plenty of entertainment just around the corner.

Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
